“Washingtonian” (w/ Brandi Carlile)
3w ago01:26:22Summary readyWell, fishing season is upon us! And you know what that means; it's time for Brandi Carlile on Las Culturistas! But, honestly? Wow. The bonafide superstar and truly great artist joins Matt + Bowen to discuss discovering gay life and dating in Seattle, how shameless dramatic grunge and rock and roll influenced her sound and the fact that Grey's Anatomy really did change it all. Also, hanging out with Joni Mitchell while she rips into the pop girlies, queer culture intersecting with country music in the 90's in a huge way, and what Brandi thinks about what's happening in our seas, globally. All this, a condemnation of high-five dodgers, what it's like to date British and the time she was summoned to the table-side of one Mariah Carey to fix her bra strap. Stream Returning To Myself. See Come See Me In The Good Light. Attend Girls Just Wanna. LIVE Brandi Carlile. xoxoxSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Quiet, Stoned and Ashamed" (w/ Blair Socci)
4w ago01:22:11Summary readyBlair Socci woke up, chose perm, and headed straight to Las Cultch to talk about it! And also Summer House! One of Matt and Bow’s favorite friends and comedians— who is touring, by the way! — shares insights into what’s happening on that program, as well as Wests (straight men) at large around the globe. Watch out ladies! It is the unpacking of the reality TV scandal of the year that you have been waiting for, okay?! And there is much, much more, don’t you fret. Ever heard of karaoke? We’re sure you have! The title of this episode may be quiet, stoned and ashamed, but the takes are loud, sober and unafraid (and in Blair’s case, delivered in a “skater pitch”). So crack open your arctic vibe and enjoy! Check out Blair’s podcast Spaced Out with Blair Socci wherever you get your, get this, podcasts!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“Life Is Just So” (w/ Lena Dunham)
Apr 1501:25:38Summary readyIn a world of Apple conferences, HBO gems, and insightful memoirs around career building experiences, we would be remiss to not remind ourselves that life is just so... so much so that the sisters are joined by Lena Dunham to talk, and mostly quote, one of our great post-feminist works: Girls. And of course Lena's new memoir: Famesick. Which is out now, honey! So get to listening and reading and reading and listening. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Animal Style" (w/ Caleb Hearon)
Apr 801:43:53Summary readyThe sisters must rejoice as we have been joined by none other than Caleb Hearon. And he has somethings to say to us! It's been a long time coming so strap in - the devil does in fact wear Prada and she's come back around. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Summary
"Gagged Up" (w/ Hilary Duff)
Apr 101:24:34Summary readyWe're in luck... or something today because Hilary Duff is making her Las Cultch debut! In addition to going back, back to the beginning, HIlary chats with Matt + Bowen all about her new album, the Lucky Me tour, listening to your children sing adult lyrics (its art, relax!), sampling Blink 182, the Spice Girls as examples of "women in all their different vibes", "So Yesterday" as unbothered anthem and when Hilary told homophobes to knock it off and it worked! Also, Grease, Pretty Woman, TGIF culture and connecting with a certain childhood ex-boyfriend through a psychic. All this, growing up alongside an audience, muggy New York City apologism *and* criticism, "dying on that hill" and the boom of the robots that we are all currently experiencing. London! Paris! Maybe Tokyo! But DEFINITELY Las Culturistas! WAKE UP and stream the album and see the tour! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
